Applications for the 2009 ConstructMyFuture Scholarships for high school students planning to study a construction-related career are being accepted until February 3, 2009. The ConstructMyFuture Scholarships and web site are jointly sponsored by the Associated General Contractors of America, the Association for Equipment Manufacturers and the Associated Equipment Distributors. Last year, the program awarded $1,000 scholarships to students studying heavy equipment operation, diesel mechanics and hydraulics, and construction management. The ConstructMyFuture scholarship program is open to students and construction industry professionals and can be used for higher education or can be applied to the purchase price of tools by those already working in the construction industry. In 2009 ConstructMyFuture.com is offering an additional seven $1,000 scholarships, sponsored by: Kobelco Cranes, North America, Inc.
